The pattern looks like: N-Bytes N-Bytes/s N-Max-Rate B-Bytes B-Bytes/s B-Max-Rate ops <=4kB 4-32kB >=32kB 9588656 9588656 9588656 88399872 88399872 88399872 90 0 0 90 6662280 6662280 6662280 87031808 87031808 87031808 83 0 0 83 6366728 6366728 6366728 72790016 72790016 72790016 79 0 0 79 6316352 6316352 6316352 83886080 83886080 83886080 80 0 0 80 6687616 6687616 6687616 84594688 84594688 84594688 92 0 0 92 4909048 4909048 4909048 69238784 69238784 69238784 73 0 0 73 6605280 6605280 6605280 81924096 81924096 81924096 79 0 0 79 6895336 6895336 6895336 81625088 81625088 81625088 85 0 0 85 6532128 6532128 6532128 87486464 87486464 87486464 90 0 0 90 6925136 6925136 6925136 86118400 86118400 86118400 83 0 0 83 So does it look good, bad or ugly ;) Thomas _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
